SUMMARY:Chicago\, IL | Studio Visit with Edra Soto

Soto instigates meaningful\, relevant\, and often difficult conversations surrounding socioeconomic and cultural oppression\, erasure of history\, and loss of cultural knowledge. Having grown up in Puerto Rico\, and now immersed in her Chicago community\, the artist has evolved to raise questions through her work about constructed social orders\, diasporic identity\, and the legacy of colonialism. \n\n\n\nSoto has presented recent solo exhibitions at Comfort Station\, Chicago\, IL (2024); Maine College of Art & Design\, ME (2024); Morgan Lehman Gallery\, NY (2024); Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago\, IL (2023); Institute of Contemporary Art\, San Diego\, CA (2023); Abrons Art Center\, New York\, NY (2021); Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL (2018); Headlands Center for the Arts\, Sausalito\, CA (2017); The Arts Club of Chicago\, IL (2017).
